General Safety Information
Operating the Vehicle
Every vehicle, including heavy duty vehi-
cles, has blind spots. The size of blind
spots varies from driver to driver and from
situation to situation. As a skilled, profes-
sional driver,
you are in the best position to
avoid accidents in turns, lane changes or
other maneuvers. Volvo Trucks North
America, Inc. provides standard equipment
(such as cabs, windshields, window sizes
and mirrors), preferred by most owners and
drivers under most conditions and in most
applications.
However, due to differences in the size of
drivers, their seating positions, the way that
they use and operate their vehicles, per-
sonal preferences and other factors, no
combination of mirrors and other visibility
enhancement devices will eliminate all
blind spots in every situation.
The safe operation of this vehicle is up to
you. Because of your special preferences,
needs and circumstances, you may want to
add extra mirrors and/or other visibility en-
hancement devices. If so, you should
contact an authorized Volvo Truck dealer to
obtain those parts which best fit your own
personal needs and preferences.
WARNING
All items within the cab must be secured
before the vehicle is set in motion. This
includes, but is not limited to, drinks,
clothes, books, televisions, etc. In the
event of a collision, loose items could
fly around inside the cab. This could
cause personal injury.
Never try to operate or work on this
vehicle while under the influence of al-
cohol. Your reflexes can be affected by
even a small amount of alcohol. Drink-
ing and operating this vehicle can lead
to an accident, causing serious personal
injury or death.
